Chapter 528 - Taking Care Of William For A Moment
Maybe because Lisa and Oscar were William\'s parents, they were meant to help each other. Because basically, what they do will someday affect their child\'s future.
Since Lisa happened to be William\'s biological mother, and that the boy\'s biological father was a president director of a large company in Indonesia, that woman should not be reckless. What she does now will someday affect William\'s good name.
Now Lisa is in trouble with her colleague at work. The woman was accused of plagiarizing someone else\'s proposal. If she refused to receive help from Oscar, Lisa wasn\'t sure when the matter would be resolved. She also didn\'t know what would happen one day if she didn\'t receive Oscar\'s help.
Finally, after thinking for a while, Lisa nodded her head.
"I\'ll give you a hard and soft copy of my proposal tomorrow."
Oscar frowned, "Why not just give it to me now?"
Hearing that made Lisa\'s ears turn red. How could she tell the man that her tote bag, which contained her wallet, flash drive, and even her cellphone, was left on her office desk? Instead of being humiliated in front of Dani, it\'s better for Lisa to lie.
"I left it. I left the proposal with my flash drive in the apartment." Lisa replied curtly without seeing Oscar\'s face.
Then Oscar let out a sigh which showed that he understood Lisa\'s answer. After that, the ex-husband and wife didn\'t make any sound anymore. Since they had no more topics to talk about, the two chose to enjoy their trip.
The black luxury car drove at a normal speed. Thinking that Oscar and Lisa wouldn\'t talk or, worse, have a hot kiss, Dani braced himself to turn on the radio. Thanks to the burly man\'s good initiative, the atmosphere in the car was back alive.
Suddenly, as Lisa became more and more familiar with the road that the car was passing, she turned and showed Oscar a frown.
"Where are you taking me?" Lisa asked suspiciously.
Oscar immediately woke up as soon as he heard Lisa\'s question. The man yawned for a while then replied, "William is sick and by chance, Mrs. Rusminah is returning home. So I\'m asking you to take care of him while I\'m working. At least two days, because if he\'s sick it usually lasts 2 days."
"What?! William is sick!? Why didn\'t you tell me!?"
It seemed like all mothers would definitely feel like the world fell apart once they found out their child was sick. Just like how Lisa felt now. She was so shocked that she felt her heart stop beating for a few seconds.
"Sorry, I let him eat two bowls of ice cream yesterday." Before Lisa could scold him completely, Oscar continued, "Okay, I know you would scold me, but I received an important phone call so I didn\'t know William refilled his ice cream bowl! Now he is burning up and can\'t stop coughing since last night."
Lisa sighed, "Oh my gosh, you should be able to—" And again, because she was too lazy to argue with Oscar, the woman could only sigh. "Whatever. Take me to my son now!"
"If you can\'t accompany William today and tomorrow, I can hire a babysitter anyway." Bye Oscar.
The woman initially planned to help Oscar find the evidence, but now that she heard it from the man, her heart felt unsure. If she decided to take care of William, Lisa would not be able to work because her mind would be fully devoted to her son until the boy recovered.
But since it\'s her son, Lisa will let go of everything in a matter of seconds. Including her job. It\'s better that she doesn\'t get evidence right away than having to see her child suffer.
"You guys are really crazy. Of course I will take care of William for 2 days, even longer if needed! After all, my son is sick! How can I let a babysitter take care of my child?" Lisa replied in a tone full of disbelief.
"I\'m just giving you a choice..."
Not long after that, Oscar\'s car stopped in front of the man\'s house. As he said, Mrs. Rusminah really went home. Usually, the woman would rush to open the gate and greet them cheerfully. But now it was Oscar who got down and unlocked the gate of his house.
"William is in his room, probably sleeping by now." He walked first from Lisa and then headed towards the kitchen, "Earlier before I left for work, I gave him fever-reducing medicine."
Lisa cleared her throat and took off her plain black blazer.
Before she could sit on the sofa in the living room, Oscar came out of the kitchen carrying a water bottle. "If you want to eat, there are still ingredients for cooking in the fridge. But if you\'re too lazy to cook, there\'s also frozen food . It\'s up to you."
"William\'s medicine is in the first aid kit near his room. Since I gave him medicine at 8 am, you can give him medicine around 2 to 4 pm. Make sure he eats first before you give him—"
Listening to Oscar\'s long explanation made Lisa feel as if she was listening to a children\'s fairy tale.
"Yeah yeah I know it. I know how to take care of him! Later at 12 noon, I will wake William for lunch. Then, if his temperature hasn\'t gone down, I\'ll just compress his forehead. At 2 pm, I will wake him up again to take medicine. Anything else?" Lisa interrupted quickly.
Oscar nodded his head, "There are two kinds of medicine. One is for the cough with phlegm. The other, the orange bottle, must be consumed after the former. That\'s for reducing fever."
"Yes, I know," Lisa replied lazily. She then walked over to Oscar and pushed the man towards the exit. "You said you are busy but how come you didn\'t move! Alright, come on, go away, I can look after William today and tomorrow."
"Fine. I\'m going to work first." Oscar replied with a big smile.
The man straightened his work coat and got ready to leave his house. Just before Lisa locked the door, the man turned around again.
"Don\'t forget to wake William to take his—"
SLAM!!
Without letting Oscar continue his speech, Lisa had slammed the door of the house pretty hard.
